YOUR SAFETY RESPONSIBILITIES °

SAFETY IS YOUR NUMBER ONE
RESPONSIBILITY!!!

At home, in the field, at the range, or anywhere, the first concern
of every firearm owner should be safety. Apply the following safety
rules in every situation, with any kind of firearm. If you feel uncer-
tain about any operational aspects of your firearm, please contact
Smith & Wesson at 1-800-331-0852, ext. 2905 before proceeding
with its operation.

If you are unfamiliar with firearms you should seek formal training
before using your pistol.

WARNING: YOU MUST FOLLOW ALL OF THESE SAFE-

TY RULES TO ENSURE THE SAFE USE OF YOUR

FIREARM. THE FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUC-
TIONS AND WARNINGS IN THIS MANUAL COULD CAUSE
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU OR OTH-
ERS AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.

As a firearm owner, you accept a demanding responsibility. How
seriously you take this responsibility can be the difference
between life and death. There is no excuse for careless or abusive
handling of your firearm. At all times handle your firearm with
intense respect for its power and potential danger.

YOUR SAFETY RESPONSIBILITIES CONTINUED

* ALWAYS KEEP YOUR FIREARM POINTED IN A SAFE
DIRECTION. Never point a firearm at anyone or anything you
do not intend to shoot whether or not it is loaded. This is par-
ticularly important when loading, unloading, or field stripping
the gun. ALWAYS control the direction of the firearm.

* ALWAYS TREAT EVERY FIREARM AS IF IT IS LOADED
AND WILL FIRE. Do not take anyone's word that the firearm
is unloaded - always check for yourself. Never pass your
firearm to another person until the cylinder or action is open
and you visually check that it is unloaded. Keep your firearm
unloaded and safely stored when not in use.

* NEVER PLACE YOUR FINGER INSIDE THE TRIGGER
GUARD OR ON THE TRIGGER UNLESS YOU INTEND TO
FIRE. Ensure that other objects do not touch the trigger.

* ALWAYS BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS
BEYOND IT. Always be sure of where the bullet will strike
and shoot only where there is a safe back stop free of
obstructions, water or other surfaces which can cause rico-
chets. Be sure your bullet will stop behind your target. Bullets
can glance off many surfaces like rocks or the surface of
water and travel in unpredictable directions with considerable
velocity. Do not fire randomly into the sky.

STREAMS WITH A LOADED FIREARM. Always make cer-
tain your firearm is unloaded before crossing a fence, climb-
ing a tree, jumping a ditch or negotiating other obstacles.

* NEVER CROSS OBSTACLES SUCH AS FENCES OR °.

* SAFE GUN HANDLING IS YOUR PERSONAL RESPONSI-
BILITY AT ALL TIMES. Firearms are dangerous and can
cause serious injury or death if they are misused or used
inappropriately. Safety must be the prime consideration of
any one who owns or handles firearms. Accidents are the
result of violating the rules of safe gun handling and common
sense. Firearm safety training is available. Contact your
firearms dealer, law enforcement agency, local sportsman’s
club, etc. for availability.

* YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FIREARM AT ALL
TIMES. In owning a firearm, you must undertake full-time
responsibility for your firearm's safety and security. You must
protect yourself and all others against injury or death from
misuse of the firearm 24 hours a day.

* FIREARM SECURITY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. You must
secure firearms safely from children and/or unauthorized
users. Your firearm should always be kept unloaded and
locked when not in use. A lock has been provided for this
purpose. Never assume that the use of this lock is sufficient
to safely secure your firearm. You must always evaluate your
personal situation and employ the security systems that meet
your needs and prevent children and unauthorized users from
gaining access to your firearm.

YOUR SAFETY RESPONSIBILITIES CONTINUED

* APPROPRIATE USE FOR YOUR FIREARM MEANS USING
YOUR FIREARM FOR LEGAL PURPOSES. For example -
target shooting, hunting and lawful resistance of deadly crimi-
nal force. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are in
compliance with all applicable laws and ordinances regarding
the use of your firearm.

* NEVER RELY ON MECHANICAL FEATURES ALONE. Only
your safe gun-handling habits will ensure the safe use of your
firearm. This is your responsibility.

* ALWAYS SAFELY STORE AND SECURE YOUR FIREARM.
Safe and secure storage of your firearm is one of your most
important responsibilities. It is a full-time responsibility. You
must always secure your firearm and ammunition separately
so that they are not accessible to children and/or other unau-
thorized persons.

* NEVER KEEP AMMUNITION IN THE SAME LOCATION AS
THE FIREARM. Store each in a separate and secure place.

* ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION THAT IS SPECIFIED
FOR USE WITH FIREARMS every time you handle your
firearm for cleaning and maintenance.

SPECIFIED FOR USE WITH FIREARMS every time you dis-
charge your firearm. Make sure others in the vicinity of where
you will be shooting do so as well.

* ALWAYS WEAR EYE AND EAR PROTECTORS THAT ARE *

* NEVER USE ALCOHOL OR DRUGS BEFORE OR WHILE
SHOOTING. Do not use your firearm if you are on any med-
ication which impairs, even slightly, your mental or physical
ability.

* ALWAYS HAVE ADEQUATE VENTILATION. Discharging
firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning firearms, or han-
dling ammunition may result in exposure to lead and other
substances known to cause birth defects, reproductive harm,
and other serious physical injury. Review the warnings and
labels for all ammunition and cleaning products carefully.
Wash hands thoroughly after exposure.

* BEFORE HANDLING ANY FIREARM, UNDERSTAND ITS
OPERATION. Not all firearms are the same. Familiarize your-
Self with the mechanical features of any firearm you intend to
use. If you feel uncertain about any operational aspects of
your firearm, please contact Smith & Wesson at 1-800-331-
0852, ext. 2905 before proceeding with its operation.

* NEVER ALLOW A FIREARM TO BE USED BY INDIVIDU-
ALS WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND ITS SAFE OPERATION
OR HAVE NOT READ THESE FIREARM SAFETY RULES.

YOUR SAFETY RESPONSIBILITIES CONTINUED

.

ALWAYS USE THE CORRECT AMMUNITION FOR YOUR
PARTICULAR FIREARM as indicated by the marking on the
barrel. Never use non-standard, reloaded, or “handloaded”
ammunition which has not been subjected to internal ballistic
pressure testing.

.

BEWARE OF BARREL OBSTRUCTIONS Be sure the barrel is
clear of obstructions before shooting. Mud, water, snow or other
objects may inadvertently lodge in the barrel bore. A small
obstruction can cause a dangerous increase in pressure and
may damage your gun and cause injury to yourself and others.

.

BE SURE ALL ACCESSORIES, SUCH AS HOLSTERS.
GRIPS, SLINGS, SCOPES AND OTHER ACCESSORIES ARE
COMPATIBLE with the firearm and that the accessories do
not interfere with safe operation. It is your responsibility to
understand and follow all of the instructions in this manual,as
well as those which may be supplied with your ammunition
and any accessory.

.

NEVER DISASSEMBLE YOUR FIREARM beyond the field
stripping procedure outlined in this manual. Improper disas-
sembly or reassembly of your firearm may be dangerous and
can lead to serious injury or death.

.

NEVER MANIPULATE, ADJUST OR CHANGE ANY OF THE
INTERNAL COMPONENTS OF YOUR FIREARM UNLESS
SPECIFICALLY INSTRUCTED TO DO SO IN THIS MANUAL.
Improper manipulation of any other internal component may
affect the safety and reliability of your firearm and may cause
serious injury or death.

.

NEVER ALLOW ANY ALTERATION OR REPLACEMENT OF
PARTS IN YOUR SMITH & WESSON FIREARM UNLESS
PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED GUNSMITH using genuine
Smith & Wesson parts. If you do otherwise, improper function-
ing of your firearm may occur and serious injury or death and
damage to property may result.

SONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND THE FAILURE TO FOL-

LOW ALL OF THESE BASIC SAFETY RULES MAY
RESULT IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU
OR OTHERS AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. YOU ARE THE
MOST IMPORTANT SAFETY DEVICE WHEN IT COMES TO THE
USE OF YOUR FIREARM AND SMITH & WESSON WILL NOT
BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE THAT RESULTS FROM: (1) THE CRIMI-
NAL OR NEGLIGENT USE OF THIS FIREARM; (2) A DISRE-
GARD OF THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS;
(3) IMPROPER OR CARELESS HANDLING OF THIS FIREARM;
(4) THE USE OF NON-STANDARD, DEFECTIVE, IMPROPER OR

AND STORED IMPROPERLY. THEY POSE A RISK OF

SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES. FIREARMS CAN BE
ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS TO CHILDREN WHEN THEY ARE
STORED IN AN IRRESPONSIBLE AND UNSAFE MANNER. FOR
YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS, IT IS IMPERA-
TIVE THAT YOU KEEP YOUR FIREARM LOCKED AND
UNLOADED IN A SECURE PLACE. THE AMMUNITION
SHOULD BE STORED IN A SEPARATE, SECURE LOCATION
WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE. SAFE AND SECURE STORAGE OF
YOUR FIREARM IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT RULES
OF FIREARM SAFETY. YOUR FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU
OR OTHERS.

! WARNING: FIREARMS ARE DANGEROUS WHEN USED

.

ALWAYS SECURE YOUR FIREARM IN A MANNER THAT

WILL PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS. Whenever your

firearm is not in use, keep it unloaded and locked. Your safety

and the safety of others requires that you always secure and

store your firearm in a manner that will prevent unauthorized

access. Never leave a firearm unattended unless it is locked, *

unloaded and secured.

.

ALWAYS USE THE LOCK PROVIDED BY SMITH & WES-
SON TO SECURE YOUR FIREARM. Please read and follow
the instructions packaged separately for the use of this lock. A
lock, when properly used, can be an effective tool in prevent-
ing unauthorized access to your firearm. There are other alter-
native locks and safe storage containers available in the mar-
ketplace which may also be appropriate for your particular
needs. Consult your local gun shop, hardware store, or local
police department for guidance on the variety of other safe
storage devices or practices which may be appropriate for
your particular needs. By purchasing this firearm you have
accepted the responsibility of safely securing the firearm at all
times and preventing its unauthorized use. Never assume that
the use of this lock alone is sufficient to safely secure your
firearm. It is your personal responsibility to select and use
whatever measures or practices that will enable you to be
absolutely certain that your firearm is secure at all times.

WARNING: NEVER LOCK A LOADED FIREARM AND
NEVER LOAD A LOCKED FIREARM!

SAFE STORAGE & TRANSPORTATION CONTINUED

ALWAYS STORE YOUR FIREARM AND AMMUNITION SEP-
ARATELY so that they are not accessible to children or other
unauthorized persons. Safe and secure storage of your firearm
and ammunition are your responsibility. It is a full-time respon-
sibility.

NEVER ASSUME THAT A “HIDING” PLACE IS A SECURE
STORAGE METHOD. Others may be aware of your storage
location or come upon it by chance. It is your personal
responsibility to use common sense when storing your firearm
and ammunition and to always make sure they are not acces-
sible to children or other unauthorized persons.

NEVER TRANSPORT A LOADED FIREARM. When transport-
ing your firearm, be sure it is unloaded and locked. Safe and
secure transportation of your firearm is your responsibility.

ALWAYS FOLLOW THE LAW! Many jurisdictions have laws
that make it a crime to keep a firearm unlocked and in an area
accessible to children or others. Keeping a firearm locked and
unloaded when not in use is not only common sense safety
practice... IT IS THE LAW. You must be familiar with all local,
state, and federal laws regarding the safe storage and trans-
portation of your firearm. Failure to know and follow the law
may result in unauthorized access or use of your firearm by
another. Obey all laws relating to the storage and transporta-
tion of firearms. Your local police department or gun shop can
furnish you with available information on storing and/or trans-
porting a firearm safely and legally.

YOUR FIREARM IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. You must pre-
vent your firearm from being stolen or from being used by
untrained or unqualified individuals. Keep it locked, unloaded
and secured when not in use.

A firearm and ammunition are a system and must work together.
There are different types of ammunition for different types of
firearms. Your firearm has been designed for ammunition of a spe-
cific type and a specific gauge or caliber. It is important to select
the proper ammunition for your firearm.

weight can have major impact on felt recoil; high felt recoil can
be uncomfortable to some shooters.

Different combinations of bullet velocity, bullet weight and firearm *

For example:
* Firearm Weight: lower firearm weight increases felt recoil.

* Bullet Weight: higher bullet weight increases felt recoil.
* Bullet Velocity: higher bullet velocity increases felt recoil.

To acclimate yourself to higher levels of felt recoil, consider
the following:

* Use a firm two-hand hold on the grip when firing.

* Always start your shooting experience with the lowest bullet
velocity and lowest bullet weight available for your firearm.

* Ask your firearm dealer to suggest the lowest power,
lowest velocity, lightest bullet weight for your firearm.

LOADED CHAMBER INDICATOR

WARNING: NEVER RELY UPON THE LOADED CHAM-
À BER INDICATOR ALONE TO VERIFY THE PRESENCE

OR ABSENCE OF A ROUND IN THE CHAMBER. THE
SUREST METHOD TO DETERMINE THE PRESENCE OR
ABSENCE OF A ROUND IN THE CHAMBER IS TO VISUALLY
CHECK THE CHAMBER OF YOUR FIREARM BY REMOVING
THE MAGAZINE AND PULLING AND LOCKING THE SLIDE IN
THE OPEN POSITION.

All M&P® SHIELD™ Pistols come with a loaded chamber indica-
tor, there are two types:

Type 1: This indicator can be
observed by looking at the top of the
slide/ejection port, (FIGURE 13a) not-
ing an opening at the rear of the bar-
rel hood. By looking into this opening, |l
you can observe whether or not a
round is in the firearm’s chamber. If a
round is in the chamber, you should
be able to see the actual cartridge rim
through this opening.

Type 2: Some M&P® Shield™ model
pistols are equipped with a tactile

loaded chamber indicator. This indica-

tor is present on the top of the slide. m

When the chamber is empty, the PES J
loaded chamber indicator will be flush |

with the top of the slide. When the *
chamber is loaded, the front of the s

FIRING CONTINUED

* |t has come to our attention that some users of Smith & Wesson
handguns may stage the trigger in anticipation of firing a shot.
Staging is the act of pulling the trigger rearward toward - stop-
ping just short of - the point where the handgun fires. Such
manipulation of the trigger can reduce the user's control of the
handgun and can result in an unintentional discharge.
Furthermore if the user decides not to fire, release of the trigger
from a position close to the firing point in the staging process
could result in an unintentional discharge.

Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and your finger out-
side the trigger guard until you are ready to fire. Each shot will
be fired in the striker fire action mode. While holding the grip
firmly, pull the trigger fully to the rear. As the trigger is drawn
fully to the rear, the striker assembly is released, striking the car-
tridge primer. Upon firing, the slide moves rearward thereby
extracting and ejecting the spent cartridge case. The slide then
returns forward feeding the next cartridge from the magazine
into the barrel chamber.

After firing you must allow the trigger to move forward fully
before you can fire another shot. Failure to do so will prevent the
lockwork from fully cycling and will prevent your being able to
fire the next shot. Keep your finger off the trigger and outside
the trigger guard until you are ready to fire again. This sequence
can be repeated until the last round has been fired, at which
time the magazine follower exerts upward pressure on the slide
stop causing it to engage the slide and to hold it in the “open”
position.

CLEARING MISFIRES

WARNING: IF YOUR HANDGUN GIVES ANY INDICA-
Ate THAT IT IS NOT PERFORMING PROPERLY OR

THE OPERATION OF YOUR HANDGUN HAS CHANGED
“THE WAY IT FEELS OR SOUNDS”, STOP FIRING. MAKE
SURE THE FIREARM IS POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION,
UNLOAD THE FIREARM AND HAVE IT INSPECTED AND TEST-
FIRED BY A GUNSMITH QUALIFIED TO PERFORM SERVICE
ON SMITH & WESSON FIREARMS.

* If a cartridge fails to fire, wait ten seconds while keeping the
muzzle pointed in a safe direction.

* Keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard.
* Remove the magazine.

* Grasp the serrated sides of FIGURE 15
the slide from the rear and
briskly pull the slide fully
rearward to eject the mis-
fired round (FIGURE 15).
Do not obstruct the ejec-
tion port, and do not
attempt to catch the round
by placing your hand over
the ejection port. Also,

remember that any time
you release the slide while a magazine containing cartridges is in
the pistol, you will have reloaded the chamber.

In order to lock the slide in
the open position, allow
the slide to move slightly
forward from the rearmost
position while pressing
upward on the slide stop
(FIGURE 16). You are now
able to safely check the
barrel chamber and bore
visually for any obstruc-
tions. You must be certain
there are no cartridges in
the chamber or obstructions in the barrel.

the magazine (FIGURE 17).

Keep the muzzle still pointed in
a safe direction, and keep your
finger off the trigger and out-
side the trigger guard, grasp FIGURE 18
the serrated sides of the slide
from the rear with the thumb
and fingers, (FIGURE 18) and
briskly draw the slide fully rear-
ward in order to extract any
cartridge from the barrel cham-
ber and clear it from the pistol.

Lock the slide in the open

position by allowing the slide
to move slightly forward from the rearmost position while press-
ing upward on the slide stop.

Do not obstruct the ejection port because doing so can interfere
with ejection of a cartridge. Visually check the barrel
chamber to be sure it is empty.

Look into the chamber and down through the magazine well.
Verify that no ammunition remains in the pistol.

Unload the magazine by holding it with the bullet end of the
cartridge pointing away from you and pressing each cartridge
forward and out of the magazine.

WARNING: WEAR SAFETY GLASSES EVERY TIME YOU
À ATTEMPT CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE.

Before using your firearm for the first time, it should be cleaned.

Your firearm was treated at the factory with either a preservative
or oil to protect it against corrosion during shipping and storage.

Preservative and oil should be wiped from the bore, chamber
and exposed areas using a clean swab or patch before using the
firearm.

CAUTION: Never disassemble your firearm beyond the instruc-
tions in the Field Stripping and Inspection sections of this manual.

Purchase cleaning supplies from your firearms dealer that are
specifically designated for your type and caliber of firearm. Many
suppliers offer these in kit form for your convenience.

Follow the instructions provided with your cleaning supplies. E

NOTE: A basic firearm cleaning kit should include: a brass bore
brush and a cleaning jag of appropriate size for the bore being
cleaned, high-quality gun cleaning solvent and gun oil/lubricant,
cotton cleaning patches and a cleaning rod that is long enough
to push the brush and jag completely through the barrel.

Remove excessive firing residue from the bore and chamber
using a properly fitted brass brush dipped in gun cleaning sol-
vent. Finish the bore cleaning process by running a dry cotton
cloth patch through the bore to remove residue and solvent.

Clean the exterior of the firearm using a non-abrasive cleaning
cloth.

After cleaning, lightly coat the metal parts, internal and external
with a high quality gun oil. Refer to the "Lubrication" section in
this manual for instructions on lubricating the firearm.

Whenever your firearm has been exposed to sand, dust, extreme

humidity, water or other adverse conditions, it must be cleaned
and lubricated.

CLEANING FIREARMS IN POORLY VENTILATED

AREAS, DISCHARGING FIREARMS, OR HANDLING
AMMUNITION MAY RESULT IN EXPOSURE TO LEAD AND
OTHER SUBSTANCES KNOWN TO CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS,
REPRODUCTIVE HARM, AND OTHER SERIOUS PHYSICAL
INJURY. WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY AFTER EXPOSURE.

! WARNING: ALWAYS HAVE ADEQUATE VENTILATION.

CAUTION: Always follow the instructions provided with your gun
cleaner and gun lubricant.

CAUTION: Some cleaners can cause damage to your firearms.
You should avoid prolonged solvent immersion and avoid any
ultrasonic cleaning of your firearm. Choice of solvent should be
restricted to those products specifically developed for firearms
maintenance. Damage to a firearm's finish may occur if these cau-
tions are ignored. Ammoniated solvents or other strong alkaline
solvents, should not be used on any Smith & Wesson firearm.

Cleaning is essential to ensure the proper functioning of your
firearm.

Your firearm is a precision instrument. To ensure reliable function

it is necessary to follow a routine maintenance procedure. After fir-

ing your firearm, be sure to unload it following the procedure out-

lined in the section entitled "Inspecting Your Firearm" before per-

forming any cleaning or maintenance procedure. *

Remove any gun cleaning solution, oil and fingerprints from the
outside surfaces of the firearm. (Finger moisture, if left, could start
a corrosion process.)

ANY OF THE INTERNAL COMPONENTS OF YOUR

FIREARM UNLESS SPECIFICALLY DIRECTED TO DO
SO IN THIS MANUAL. IMPROPER MANIPULATION OF ANY

MAINTENANCE BEFORE STORAGE

When storing, do not encase your firearm in anything that will
attract or hold moisture, for example, leather or heavy cloth.
Also, do not store guns with a plug inserted in the barrel for this
can be a contributing factor to moisture accumulation. If your
firearm is to be stored for an extended period, the bore, chambers
and internal working mechanism should be oiled with a high
quality lubricating oil or preservative intended for firearms.

The external working mechanisms and barrel should be coated
with an anti-rust oil. Before using your firearm again, be sure to
clean it. Every time you clean your firearm, check it for signs of
wear. If excessive wear is noted, do not use the firearm. Return it
to Smith & Wesson for service or have it checked by a qualified
gunsmith.

This handgun is not equipped with a
device that fully blocks use by
unauthorized users. More than 200,000
firearms like this one are stolen from
their owners every year in the United
States. In addition, there are more than a
thousand suicides each year by younger
children and teenagers who get access
to firearms. Hundreds more die from
accidental discharge. It is likely that
many more children sustain serious
wounds or inflict such wounds
accidentally on others. In order to limit
the chance of such misuse, it is
imperative that you keep this weapon
locked in a secure place and take other
steps necessary to limit the possibility of
theft or accident. Failure to take *
reasonable preventative steps may result
in innocent lives being lost, and in some
circumstances may result in your liability
for these deaths.

The certification below is required only for handguns sold in the
United States with a barrel length shorter than 3".

Smith & Wesson Corp. hereby certifies average accuracy test results
for all new handguns with a barrel shorter than 3" as follows:

7 yards 14 yards 21 yards
1.7" 3.9" 6.3"

This certification is based on tests conducted by Smith & Wesson

Corp. using a fixed handgun, rest and firing ammunition manufac-
tured by a member of the Shooting Arms and Ammunition
Manufacturers Institute (SAAMI) as defined in ANSI/SAAMI Z299.3-
1993.

This certification represents actual tests based on several hand-
guns, selected at random. Your particular handgun may have accu-
racy better than the results stated in this certification.
